[QUOTE="Ink, post: 707910, member: 3"] Realistically nothing is safe. [LIST] [*]Avoid insecure & open Wi-Fi access points [*]Take caution with protected public Wi-Fi access points and possible "Login pages" [*]Do not sensitive web activities unless you're confident the connection is secured [*]Use mobile data (4G/LTE)** [*]Use only trusted VPN services [/LIST] You have to [COLOR=#ff0000][I]pay for privacy[/I][/COLOR], so be vigilant around most "free VPN apps".
